Masque of the red death

A preacher banishes alcohol, gamling and whores from a small western town Garlow. However, the first thing an outlaw gang does while residing in the town is establishing a saloon specializing on those things. The decent folks of the town - like an Irish undertaker Patrick Tate (Emily Hirsch) - are caught up in a crossfire. Literally. And the undertaker has his hands full of customers. The story in its vulgar confrontation is alright and it's pretty grim, gritty and dark, but never really properly ignites.

Some people are blurred

Based on a Stephen King book and at least loosely based on the active years of serial killer BTK, aka Dennis Rader . Quite good otherwise ...
